Market Turns Green as Altcoins Outperform BTC
Over the last three days, the total cryptocurrency market has swelled by $140 billion, according to market data reported by Ash Crypto. A recent heatmap of major tokens reveals a sea of green, with altcoins taking center stage in this rally.
Bitcoin (BTC), the market’s top player, made modest gains of +1.02%, reaching a new all-time high of $126,223 on October 5, according to CoinShares data. Ethereum (ETH) showed stronger growth with a +3.60% rise, reflecting growing investor interest. Binance Coin (BNB) wasn’t far behind, rising +3.25%, while XRP gained +1.27% and Solana (SOL) inched up +0.68%, all helping to boost the recent market rally.
Today’s crypto market momentum was mostly fueled by altcoins. Chainlink jumped an impressive 7.43% after some positive ecosystem news. Dogecoin followed with a solid 5.61% gain, while Cardano climbed 4.21%.SUI also saw a modest rise. Litecoin,was the only one which slipped , by.84% as buying interest seemed to fade.
Market Structure Suggests Larger Rally in Play
Technical patterns also support the bullish narrative. The overall crypto market cap now stands at $4.21 trillion. Analysts at CryptoELITES highlight a massive “Cup and Handle” structure forming on the logarithmic chart, indicating a potential breakout toward $6 trillion.
The market recently tested long-term resistance near $6.7 trillion and saw a slight pullback. If support holds at current levels, this could pave the way for a parabolic run in Q4 2025. Historically, such breakouts have preceded major bull cycles.
With altcoins outperforming Bitcoin in percentage gains and ETF inflows reaching record levels, signs are pointing toward an emerging altcoin season — and possibly the largest expansion phase the crypto market has seen yet.
Record ETF Inflows Boost Market Confidence
A major reason behind this rally is strong institutional inflow into crypto investment products, crypto ETFs pulled in a record $5.95 billion globally last week. The U.S. dominated with a $5 billion inflow with Bitcoin and Ethereum attracting billions. This highlights investor confidence in digital assets during uncertain economic times.
